how does child care setting change risk?  

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

  Hi,
  My 10-month-old is currently unvaccinated, and part of our decision to delay her vaxing was based on the fact that we had no plans to put her in child care (I'm at home with her).  WELL, I'm going to be starting work in a child care program for infants and toddlers up to 18 months of age, and I can bring my baby with me.  While this is a great arrangement in many ways, I'm now wondering how her risk factors change.  As far as I know, all the other kiddos are fully vaxed on the CDC schedule, but I also know that sometimes the disease strains that go through a population hit the vaxed as well... so I'm not sure how much it matters that she'd be with a bunch of vaxed kids.
  Anybody have websites, facts, experiences they can share to help me suss this out?  (While books are undoubtedly helpful, unless they're at the library, I can't shell out the dough to pick them up right now.)  I'll be talking to her naturopath/pediatrician too, but I wanted to also pluck the strands of this wise web here.  Basically I'm wondering how her risk factors change by sharing slobber with her peers.
  Thanks so much,
  Andra
